Beginning Ubuntu Linux
This is the first book of its kind to cover the hottest new Linux
distribution, and will teach you how to make the most of your Ubuntu
desktop. First, the book introduces you to the world of Linux and the
open source community, and then outlines Ubuntu installation and
configuration in detail. You'll learn how to wield control over your
newly installed operating system. Then you'll learn about system
customization opportunities and fun tasks like listening to audio CDs
and MP3s, viewing movies, performing office and Internet-related
tasks, and maintaining your Ubuntu system in general.

The book comes with a CD containing the complete Ubuntu distribution.
You are encouraged to take full advantage of this powerful operating
system by inserting the disk into the drive, and then following
closely along with the supplementary material.
